Mulling spice

Mulling spices is a spice mixture used in drink recipes. The spices are usually used to spice hot apple cider, mulled wine, glögg, wassail, hippocras and other drinks during autumn or winter. A "mulled" drink is a drink which has been prepared with these spices . Mulling spices may also be added to the brewing process to make spiced beer.

The combination of spices varies, but it usually consists of cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg; and less frequently star anise, peppercorn or cardamom. It also usually includes dried fruit (such as raisins, apples or orange rind). Mulling spices can also be bought prepackaged.
